Here's the link: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/call-articles Here's the actual text: Linux Journal is gearing up for our Python issue, and we'd love to get articles from YOU! If you have any Python-related projects, tactics, lessons or other articles ideas, send a proposal to jill at linuxjournal.com. We're excited about the Python issue, and we're excited for you to help us make it awesome! (NOTE: any photos of geeks flexing their "pythons" for us will be deleted immediately--or possibly posted online for everyone to see. Please, no one wants to see that!) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can book by calling 979.693-1741 and mentioning that you are with PyTexas when you book or you can go to their website for the conference: https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/pytexas Benjamin Liles benliles at pytexas.net From jtgalyon at gmail.com Wed Aug 29 19:46:32 2012 From: jtgalyon at gmail.com (Jason Galyon) Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:46:32 -0500 Subject: [Texas] carpooling and request for 1 more py dude for sharing a room Message-ID: Howdy! PyTexas is around the corner and with the group rate in place and room sharing options open and of course piling as many Pythonista clowns in as few vehicles as possible (please no seltzer water this year). The Four Points by Sheraton College Station is the hotel with the group rate. Reserve your room at https://t.co/L98OAtR9. Via the room reservation link above, the total for a two night stay (checkin 14 Sep and checkout 16 Sep) is $222.87. Note that this is at a pre-tax rate of $96.90 per night (SHOOT IT!!! just say'n) so calling the hotel at (979) 693-1741 would seem to be in order at this point for the $89 pre-tax rate. Thus the price per person, given the $96.90 rate and 4 folks in a room, is $55.75. Myself, Kevin Horn, and Osye Pritchett sadly don't make 4, so we could use one other guy. Email me if interested. Travel... so for folks in the DFW area, I haven't dug up any discussion yet on carpooling, so let's discuss! Note that my van is a deathtrap and thus I don't exactly recommend using it ;) Thanks, Jason Galyon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
